It is amazing to see how many Peugeot’s come through a shop. I thought there were a lot of Schwinn’s out here. (There might be more Swinn’s than expected though).
Coincidentally, the other day there were two bikes that passed the threshold, both with Mallaird 27″ wheels sporting the awesomely obsolete Helicomatic hub.
Yes, simply amazing. It seems a day hasn’t gone by without my seeing one of these Carbolite 103 Peugeots either in the shop or out in the world. Obsolescence is a fact of life in a bike shop I guess: just today, a Schwinn, in pretty decent condition, came in equipped with Positron shifting. When’s Shimano going to re-release that gem?
